Charing Cross, Lahore

Charing Cross, officially known as Faisal Chowk, is a major road intersection in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.

[2] The planned intersection was developed at a juncture between Queens', Montgomery and Mall roads.

A white marble pavilion, designed by Bhai Ram Singh, was constructed at Charing Cross in 1901 to mark Queen Victoria's jubilee as the first Empress of India.

A bronze statue of Victoria, cast in London in 1900, stood at the site in the pavilion from 1904 until 1951, when it was replaced by a model of the Quran.

[6] In February 2017 a suicide bomber murdered at least 14 people at a protest in the area.

The Islamic Summit Minar was built near the Charing Cross Pavilion, which once housed a statue of Queen Victoria .
